AEW Dynamite IGNITE for 08/14/24 (Young Bucks vs. The Acclaimed)

We are now less than two weeks away from AEW All In as we preview AEW Dynamite IGNITE for 08/14/24. Can AEW Dynamite keep the momentum going heading into Wembley?  

On this week’s AEW Dynamite, we will see multiple matches and segments that have major implications on the pay-per-view in London.

This week’s show will feature a movie by Mariah May, a 3-Way for a Spot in the Casino Gauntlet, and two massive title matches. Let us find out more about this loaded card in Norfork in the latest edition of AEW Ignite.

A Film By Mariah May

Mariah May has certainly shown her vicious side since turning on her mentor, Toni Storm, last month. As we get closer to their showdown at All In, what will May have in store for the AEW Women’s World Champion? It seems she will be stealing Storm’s gimmick.

On Dynamite, we will get a Film by Mariah May. This is something Toni Storm has done repeatedly during her “Timeless” gimmick. What will May have to say on Wednesday night?

Kazuchika Okada & Claudio Castagnoli Face-to-Face

In a recent episode of AEW Collision, Claudio Castagnoli won a match to earn himself a future AEW Continental Championship shot. He doesn’t want to wait long it seems. He wants that shot at AEW All-In. 

In Norfork, we will have the first face-to-face meeting between Kazuchika Okada and Claudio Castagnoli.

What will Okada have to say about Castagnoli’s challenge? Here’s hoping it will lead to that huge match between two of the best wrestlers in the world at Wembley.

Kyle O’Reilly vs. Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong
(Winner Gets #1 Spot in the Casino Gauntlet at All-In)

It is time for another Casino Gauntlet at All In! The winner of the match will get a future AEW World Championship shot. It is always a fun match to watch at any AEW pay-per-view.

On this week’s AEW Dynamite, a 3-way will occur that will have major implications on the Casino Gauntlet. The winner of the match will get the #1 spot in the Gauntlet at All In. O’Reilly and Cassidy are members of  The Conglomeration.

Can they work together to defeat long-time rival Strong? It should be a fun match between three of the best workers in AEW.

Hangman Adam Page vs. Jay Lethal

Hangman is in a foul mood. His team lost the Blood & Guts match a few weeks ago. Even worse, Page tried to take his long-time rival Swerve Strickland out of the match via handcuffs but Jeff Jarrett made the save. Hangman has been finding a way to get revenge against Jarrett ever since.

It seems like it will continue on Wednesday night. Page will face Jarrett’s long-time ally Jay Lethal. This may not be Lethal’s best choice. The vicious streak of Page will surely continue in Norfolk.

Swerve Strickland vs. Wheeler Yuta

The main event is set for AEW All In. AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland will face Bryan Danielson. If Danielson loses, his career is over. The stakes certainly couldn’t be higher for “The American Dragon” as his legendary career winds down.

At the end of last week’s AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland told Danielson he was looking for a “sparring partner”.

He suggested Danielson’s Blackpool Combat Club ally, Wheeler Yuta. It certainly is a tough test for Strickland. What will he do with Danielson watching and waiting for their upcoming match?

Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Hikaru Shida
(TBS Championship)

Hikaru Shida had a passionate promo on AEW Collision. She called herself “The Ace” of the Women’s Division and challenged Moné to a match for the TBS Championship. That will happen on Wednesday night.

Mercedes Moné is feeling pretty confident with her new ally, Kamille, by her side. She just needs to win heading into her AEW All-In match against Britt Baker.

But overlooking a motivated Shida would be a mistake. It should be an excellent match with the TBS Championship on the line.

Young Bucks (c) vs. The Acclaimed
(AEW World Tag Team Championship)

It is finally happening! On June 19th, The Acclaimed defeated the Young Bucks in an Eliminator Match. This meant they were owed a future AEW World Tag Team Championship match. After a nearly two-month delay, The Acclaimed finally got their shot.

We haven’t seen a lot of the Young Bucks since losing at Blood & Guts. What mindset will they be in as they defend their titles for the first time since winning them in April?

And with FTR waiting in the wings, both times better be at their best on AEW Dynamite. It should be an amazing main event to end another strong Dynamite.

What To Expect:

  • What will Britt Baker have to say upon her return to AEW programming?
  • What is next for MJF?
  • Will we learn any more matches for AEW All-In?
